Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I've nearly bought one of these twice but then changed my mind. There is a fair bit of chat about them on some of the German sites. They are an older model hence why they seem to be very good at the 'Old School' floaty/spinny stuff rather than JLs & more modern pitchy stuff.

Probably best to enjoy them for what they do well, that said, if I was going to try tweeking one I'd probably start with the frame. The all 4mm frame does look a bit floppy, especially the spine and lower spreaders. If I was going to do something it would be to replace these with something a bit stiffer - maybe P90 or P100 - this would also add a little weight which might give a bit more enertia which might make JL's a bit easier. I did something similar with my Shadow (P300 spine) to good effect. However it might have the effect of loosing the very low wind performance.

Interestingly the Germans seem to rate the Tattoo Zero ( Spacekites/HQ) quite highly as an alternative 0-5 mph kite ( missed one of those on Ebay a couple of months back )

@ 1:43?If so we don't know what that 'is' either, JonT always does it in his ballets but just kinda calls it a slide, haha. Can't really keep both tips on the grass in this case, but it works on ice haha. 'That what you're talking about (kind of)?

if you can do tip stand with a breeze with any force it coils down like a spring and pops backup because the frame is so 'noodly'I have thought of just switching the spine out to something heavier to give me more mass but never got to it.My breeze is my noob lite wind flier and no body has managed to break it yet.

Interestingly, if you compare the specs for the original Breeze and the 'Retroline' Breeze on the HQ sevice Site, it appears that the 'New' Breeze has different bridle specs and is apparently nearly 3oz lighter than the old one?

oh, no worries, I know that the Breeze was a successful seller when it was first brought out, but there was also not very many other UL kites at that price point....we sold a lot of them....i know that there was a few stacks of them i built....hmm......but to compare it against the feather or the geenie...both of those are wholly different designs.....much higher aspect kites!
